Hey @BlizzardCS, i brought Overwatch coins on the Xbox Store to purchase the Battle Pass for Overwatch 2 and it's still at 0. I really hope you are looking into that problem as well as me trying to merge my account from Overwatch 1 but it's not working.

@aaronkellerOW @PlayOverwatch any idea of why would they do ddos? maybe another game studio knew overwatch was going to kill their game for good and so they started the plan to try to mitigate ow 2 success? should have tested North Korea weaponry on them hahahaha hope you fix the issue soon! i loved the game

Overwatch not popular enought to have server issues for almost 2 days, getting kicked out is one thing but not even being able to log in and being stuck in a queue is wild and this is coming from a Destiny player lol

Between Overwatch 2 server issues and now Destiny 2 having Weasel errors, it’s getting extremely difficult to start stream. Lol

@NotSoSpeedRuns I'm sure they got ddos'd, but I'm also sure that is not the only reason it's going so terribly. Overwatch has yet to prove it's competent enough to do things right.

If you're having trouble opening Overwatch 2, it could be due to your firewall/antivirus software. Please add the Overwatch Launcher and Overwatch executables as exceptions to your software for it to launch.

@PizzaPC8 Classic overwatch. Don't worry about it my guy. Their dealing with another DDOS attack so it's gonna be awhile before they'll get that fix. Trust me I know

So I've been playing Overwatch 2 and I'm not a fan of the change. Despite being hit with a DDOS attack, it has added 3 to 4 new maps and 3 new characters. I am really confused why its getting good reviews on Metacritic as this is not worth it. What's everyone else thinking of it?

@BlizzardCS Every time I launch Overwatch, it prompts me with “The application encountered an unrecoverable error. Click ‘OK’ to create a memory dump, then please share it on our support site.” I have 0 clue what caused this is for I was able to play Overwatch 1 with 0 PROBLEMS!!

@Blizzard_Ent dropped the lie of a DDOS attack yet? truth is they didn't want to lease a few more servers for the launch of OW2 seems to point to the anticipated new direction Overwatch will be taking...namely to vampire desiccate their fanbase of money and hope. #capitalism

@OkiNeko Of course, Overwatch 2 has other problems like server issues and locking heroes behind a battle pass. What do you think?

@YFJimbo Exactly, the 2,000 in the queue is a BS number that hasn't moved in over an hour now. Who in the hell is playing overwatch and if there is a DDOS shouldn't they lose their connection, so how is it they are playing, ask that questions to yourself?

@BlizzardCS I know there are multiple issues ongoing, I am curious if there is a fix for getting Overwatch 2 to at least open, I click on Play, says Launching, Playing Now and goes back to Play without ever actually opening the game.

Day 2 and the Overwatch 2 DDoS attacks continue. It appears Blizz have disabled the shop again and also the ability to buy/unlock skins and other cosmetics (at least for me). You can still earn them through the battle pass at the moment, just not exchange credits.
